To be fair, we haven't heard about Mawae yet, but would think his chances are pretty slim.

But if Warner and Anderson are in, and Taylor, Davis and LT that's all 5 slots

Andersen, Taylor, Tomlinson, Davis, Warner. Okay by me. At least five regular finalists got in. Pushing Andersen and Davis along is a very good thing. Taylor very deserving, though a surprise as a first ballot guy.

It's twitter so we'll see but assuming those are the 5 then I believe all we're waiting on is Easley and Jones confirmation.

Have to agree with all of that. Taylor is surprise, given Strahan waiting...but Jackie Slater, too, was not a 1st ballot type, really, but he got in right away. Taylor better resume than Slater

I went with this at 4:32 Pacific

That should help his case with the voters.

Not surprised if he didn't make it. The voters likely didn't much care for Cris Carter's whining when he didn't get in, and TO thus far makes Carter look like an amateur in that department.
